I like Halloween night when all the local kids dress up to scare away the evil spirits. However this year I missed the local fun as I was out in Manchester - and there were sights there that would scare old 'Lucifer' himself. Graham and I got tickets for a 'Halloween Spooktacular' at The Bridgewater Hall. I had picked up a flyer a few weeks ago whilst at the Halle concert with a local organised group and thought how am I going to get to this concert? Well what does raise sons for if not taking their Mum out occasionally, especially as one has returned temporarily to the home nest?
We got our money's worth with the opener 'O Fortuna' from Carmina Burana - with the 100 strong Halifax Choir and The Manchester Concert Orchestra, the sound was stunning especially as we had circle seats overlooking the platform. It was Gray's first visit to the concert hall and he was impressed. Music from 'The Omen' at the end was counteracted by 'ET' for an encore. The 'ghouls' and 'girlies' thronging the streets still looked frightening at 10.30pm - I dread to think what it was like after midnight!
